Ah, right, of course I should have checked /etc/services first ..

nfsd            2049/sctp  nfs          # NFS server daemon
nfsd            2049/tcp   nfs          # NFS server daemon
nfsd            2049/udp   nfs          # NFS server daemon

All that's running on linux is tcpdump -pn on the router - the traffic 
is with the win7 box - so I guess linux' tcpdump was (mis)interpreting.  
Seems that traffic was getting through anyway, but I didn't clip much.

Thanks,

Ian
